MSR Women's Lightning Ascent Snowshoes
Technical winter terrain demands a snowshoe built for the specific biomechanics of the person wearing it, and the MSR Women's Lightning Ascent was designed from the ground up for a narrow gait, smaller footwear, and the kind of aggressive backcountry use where grip and security actually matter.
The 360° Traction frames with steel DTX crampons deliver edge-to-edge bite on icy traverses, steep sidehills, and challenging variable conditions that would expose the limitations of a lesser snowshoe. The new Paragon binding is a meaningful upgrade worth paying attention to: a comfortable mesh strap wraps securely around a wide range of footwear without pressure points, and integrated toe stops make foot placement fast and intuitive, even when you're tired and the light is fading. The narrow 7.25-inch frame improves agility for those with a narrow gait and reduces overall weight without giving up the structural integrity of the 7075-T6 aluminium frame.
On sustained climbs through the Canadian backcountry, the Ergo Televator heel lifts reduce calf fatigue with an ergonomic design that engages with a simple flick of a pole grip, keeping hands free and momentum going. Modular flotation tail attachment points let you add 5-inch tails on demand when deeper snow or a heavier pack calls for extra surface area.
